I have arrived in Manila! It took 27 hours of time to get from my house Sunday morning to the hotel Monday night. It is 1am here and I am about to leave for the office, because the office here works at night in order to work during American day-time hours. What a crazy world!…
Travel Observations
Up in the Air
Time for my movie review! Finally got to see this movie last night. Don’t worry, I won’t tell you anything about the plot-line, or the story, or anything else. What I will tell you is that I really enjoyed it. As did Home Warrior, who does not travel like I do. So clearly it appeals…
Treats On A Plane
Happy late-Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had a more eventful holiday than I would have liked (pipes getting clogged, dishwasher draining into sink, water spilling out onto the floor, plumbers called…..sigh) but it was still lots of fun and filled with lots of family. The only traveling we did was…
Napa was fabulous
A couple of weeks ago, the Home Warrior (aka my husband) and I went to Napa for a short vacation. Since my sister lived in San Francisco for a while, I have been to Napa and Sonoma several times. However Home Warrior had never been out there, so when he had a few extra vacation…

I recently passed a Brooks…
I love LOVE
Today’s post is short and sweet—go see LOVE, the Cirque du Soleil/Beatles show in Las Vegas. It is fabulous. Anyone who even halfway likes the Beatles will really enjoy it. It is all normal Cirque acrobatic dancing, even more visually beautiful than normal, to reproduced and re-imagined Beatles songs. As someone who was raised on…
Las Vegas: Home of the Over-sharer
It started on the first full day of my recent vacation in Vegas, but I didn’t realize it was a pattern until the flight home. My husband, sister, future brother in law, and I had met at a restaurant for breakfast. When our waitress came to take our drink order, as she left she said,…
Where's the help??
I travel a lot, and almost all of it is for work. When I first started this position I searched the web for women business travelers. Information, insight, packing ideas, anything—and I found zip. The best thing I found reminded me that nylons could catch on fire if there is a plane wreck so it’s…
